3 Body Problem is not, strictly speaking, David Benioff and DB Weiss’s first series since wrapping up Game of Thrones. The first project of their lucrative deal with Netflix was, improbably, The Chair, a sharp, underrated campus satire which they executive produced. It was cancelled after one season, its modest budget perhaps now funding a single second of CGI in this exceedingly costly sci-fi series, created by Benioff and Weiss along with Alexander Woo.
《三體》嚴格來說,並不是大衛•貝尼奧夫(David Benioff)和D•B•韋斯(DB Weiss)在結束《權力的遊戲》之後推出的首部作品。他們與Netflix簽下的第一份大合同的首個項目,出人意料地,是《The Chair》——一部尖銳且未受到足夠評價的校園諷刺劇,由他們擔任執行製片。該劇在播出一季後便被取消,其不大的預算現在可能剛好夠在這部耗資鉅額的科幻系列裏製作一秒鐘的CGI。《三體》影集由貝尼奧夫、韋斯和亞歷山大•伍(Alexander Woo)共同創作。
